Thank you for the reply. I have the blue and stock nuts but my associated wheel nut wrench does not allow the nut to tighten down all the way. I have the HPI te-37 wheels 6mm offset and the socket will not fit into the wheel nut area. Any help would be great!

I would like to know if there is any other wheel nuts for the tc4. I am trying to use HPI wheels but the center bore is too small. If you have any suggestions, please help.

If the axle thread is too big to fit through the hole on the wheel just drill it our bigger, I've had to do this all 13 sets of wheels I've got oddly enough my one set of hpi wheel hasn't been touch. I think the problem lays with the dish wheels are most likely metric and the tc4 is an imperial car.

Question for all you TC4 gurus. I bought a team kit from a local who put the kit together but never ran it. I have since put in electronics, set up the shocks with recommended fluids, pistons, and springs that the local racers used last year. I have even used the intergy setup station2 to make sure my camber and toe are evenly setup.

That being said. Under exceleration it will slightly pull to one side and when you let off the throttle it will pull to the other. When driving at a slow speed it tracks perfectly straight. I finally took it into the local hobby shop to have it looked at and after a close inspection it looked like there was just a little bit of slop where the steering rack is fastened to the chassis (if you look at the pic above, the bearing next to the far left battery cell and the bearing just under the turnbuckle coming off of the servo). He is ordering me new bearings and the fasteners that actually sit inside the bearings. But is this problem common? I've tried cranking down the fastener but that "slop" is still there. The only way to be able to tighten it up more would be to bust out the dremel and take just a hair off of the fastener that slides through the bearing.

Has anyone else ever had this issue with the steering? What did you do to fix it?

I have 2 FT TC4's, one of them has an aluminum steering assembly and the other has a standard graphite assembly. They both have a slight tick of play in them, but are properly built and fastened to the chassis. So, it will always have just the slightest bit of slop in it.

Thursday I was getting my 17.5 Foam car together, and it would pull on-throttle slightly, and the steering didn't feel consistent. It turns out that the right steering knuckle was binding slightly on the caster block. Check everything else first to ensure that any problems you have are actually in the steering assembly

Anything quick in a shaft-driven car will suffer from torque-steer. What motor and battery combination are you running?

I'm running a 13.5 brushless venom system and a team orion 4800 mah lipo battery. The guy I had check out my system didn't tear into the the vehicle but he was holding it in his hand giving the drive train a thorough look while playing with the throttle. Then he went outside to drive it. Another local driver came out and drove it around on a fresh paved surface too. He mentioned torque steer but said what is going on isn't torque steer. They both think its somewhere in the steering rack. Tomorrow is race day and I may get some more hands on input. I just wish I had today off so I could tear the front end apart and check out all the components one by one.
